I want to mount /var/cache to a ram disk. Then /var/cache/debconf is also on ram disk. So it's gone when I reboot. To save it, I would have to tweak it, eg. with bind mounting, so that /var/cache/debconf is on disk again. This trouble would not be necessary if the debconf DB was in /var/lib in the first place. > I suggest using tmpfs instead of a ramdisk too. Agreed. It is not relevant for the problem though.
